Get the rich sound of the world's most famous compressors! The Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection offers the silky - warm compression heard on numerous hit records, from The Beatles and Pink Floyd to Motown classics. Now, you can add that analog 'glow' to vocals, drums, and your entire mix with highly accurate plug - in emulations of these unique tube compressors. Key features include adding classic Fairchild tube warmth and character to tracks and mixes, enhancing vocals and drums with harmonics and punch using tube - driven gain control and transformer sections. It's easy to control compression with Wet/Dry, Sidechain Filter, and Headroom controls. This collection includes UAD Native (runs on Mac or PC without UA hardware in AAX, AU, VST3) and Apollo Realtime & UAD - 2 (runs accelerated on Apollo interfaces and UAD - 2 hardware in AAX, AU, VST2, and VST3). The Fairchild 670 and 660 define some of the most revered sounds in popular music. The 660 boosts piano, bass, and guitar tracks, while the 670 is a full - stereo compressor for channels, final mixes, and masters. The UAD Fairchild Collection is based on accurate circuit models from Ocean Way Studios, offering the rich tube tone of iconic hardware. The Wet/Dry Mix Control allows for blending unprocessed and compressed signals, and Sidechain Filters enhance drums. The Headroom Control can adjust gain reduction and distortion for different textures.
Using the Universal Audio Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection is a breeze. First, decide which version suits your needs - the UAD Native for your Mac or PC without extra hardware, or the Apollo Realtime & UAD - 2 for accelerated performance on compatible interfaces. To start adding that classic Fairchild warmth to your tracks, load the plugin into your audio software. For vocals and drums, use the tube - driven gain control and transformer sections to add harmonics and punch. The Wet/Dry control lets you blend the original and compressed sound. Adjust it until you get the perfect texture. When working on drums, use the Sidechain Filters to add impact without over - triggering the compressor. The Headroom control is great for adjusting the gain reduction and distortion. Increase it for smoother mastering or decrease it for a grittier sound. Remember, keep your audio software and the plugin updated to ensure the best performance. Also, don't overload the compressor too much as it may cause unwanted distortion. Clean your audio interfaces regularly if you're using the Apollo Realtime & UAD - 2 version to keep the connection stable.
